To Remember
I smile when you are near though my eyes look lost
Their sparkle and twinkle forever gone, not only my cost
I search always longing for the peace I can’t remember
Feeling the love you offer and I don’t know though warm and tender
Hiding in my confusion, fear guarding the gates
Will I ever educe in me the love I see in your face
Words and thoughts elude me, I know only I’m forgetting
Things my mind has owned, a distant path I’m setting
To remember how to remember, I fight each day to find
Memories each day unblooming and dying in my mind
Knowing I should know, this light grows ever dim
Losing the strength I possess, a battle I cannot win
The day when I look at you with no recognition in my eyes
Know it is out of my hands and I’ve lost my awesome prize
